Are you stepping out in faith?
Feb 01I was reading through Genesis chapter twelve and Genesis 12:1 caught my attention. Here we see Abram (later his name was changed to Abraham) being called by God to leave the country he knows, his relatives and close family and venture into the unknown; a land that God will show him. That seems awfully vague doesn’t it? God didn’t give him instructions like walk 500 miles due...
Free John Piper books
Jan 12I’m a firm believer in reading the writings of those who’ve gone before us and were considered giants or heroes of the faith. This would include such people as C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, John Wesley, Thomas Aquinas, and more. These are men who’ve wrestled with their faith and the way it impacts their world around them. I think from in our lifetime or soon after we’ll...

Growing up on Alternative, Grunge and Classic Rock, I thought that the Gospel genre wouldn’t be my cup of tea. I associated Gospel with the likes of Bill and Gloria Gaither and other quartet groups. However, I dropped A Deeper Level into my player and...
The skinny on Mark; a book of the Bible
Jan 20Have you ever walked into the tail end of a conversation and wonder what started the discussion? The conversation made sense as you were apart of it, but when you found out the origination of the conversation it provided greater insight into the discussion. The same is true with the Bible.
